    Are used truck prices topping out now?

    Only reason I ask is that my old 2019 Ltd is still sitting on the AutoNation lot after 3+ weeks and they have dropped the price $1K. The companion Ltd that was comparibly equipped and was already there on the lot when I sold them mine is still there as well. It's not from lack of visibility or...
